M.T. Kelly’s most popular and critically acclaimed novel, A Dream Like Mine, won a Governor General’s Literary Award and was adapted for the screen and filmed as Clearcut in 1989. His fiction includes I Do Remember the Fall, The More Loving One, The Ruined Season, A Dream Like Mine, and the poetry collection Country You Can’t Walk In. Kelly’s new collection, Downriver, is full of forceful poems of grace, grit and determination; poems of the city and poems of the countryside.
